Balance, balance, balance - this is the answer you've been looking for. Being in alignment is the key to having an efficient metabolism, improving posture, reducing pain, and increasing your immune system. 

It's not about the extremes, about pushing your body to the max, eliminating, restricting or hating yourself healthy. What it all comes down to is achieving balance and alignment inside your body - one big player in this game is a little known but mighty organ called fascia. 

Some call fascia the "secret" organ as it's quickly gaining traction in the medical world with tons of research coming out about this powerhouse. Inside today's podcast, I break down fascia with fascia expert Lauren Roxburgh.

Inside today's podcast, we break down:

• What fascia is and why it's so important.
• The link between fascia and weight {including cellulite}
• How to tell if you have unhealthy fascia
• How to improve your fascia to create body balance.

There's a common health lie floating around, that you just need to exercise more. Push your body, work harder and beat it into submission. But today I ask the question, is this good and does it even work?

I used to own a gym. For six years, I was one of those trainers pushing people to move their bodies more. I'm somewhat ashamed at what I allowed some of my clients to do, but I suppose it brought me to this place and a deep dive into exercise and what that looks like for health. 

The thing about exercise is that movement is critical for longevity in our bodies. It's one of the healthiest things we can be doing for our bodies - to strengthen our fascia, move our lymphatic fluid, build lean tissue, boost our metabolism and immune system and regulate our hormones. 

SO much good in movement. 

But like anything too much or the wrong kinds can be equally as detrimental. 

That's why today, on the podcast, I am breaking down the lie that you need to work out more. We'll also talk about:

• What type of exercise is best.
• How much is too much or not enough.
• How to eat around your workout for optimal results.

One common lie I hear is that your hormones are responsible for your weight problem. But the truth of the matter, we're focusing on the wrong systems. Your hormones are a by-product of a number of other factors that we have way more control over. Learn more inside this podcast.
